Just at this moment when the tall old man, his hair streaming as in the blast of a furnace, was going to strike the little shrinking child Miss Furnivall, the old woman by my side, cried out, 'Oh father! father! spare the little innocent child! But just then I saw we all saw another phantom shape itself, and grow clear out of the blue and misty light that filled the hall; we had not seen her till now, for it was another lady who stood by the old man, with a look of relentless hate and triumphant scorn.
In 1881 The Browning Society, founded by Dr Furnivall initiator of so much work that is invaluable to the student of our literature and Miss E.H. Hickey, herself a poet, began its course. At first, according to Mrs Orr, Browning "treated the project as a joke," but when once he understood it to be serious, "he did not oppose it."
I don't know if Miss Furnivall had seen me, for, as I told you, she was very deaf, and she sat quite still, idly staring into the fire, with her hopeless face. 'I'm only looking for my little Rosy Posy, replied I, still thinking that the child was there, and near me, though I could not see her. 'Miss Rosamond is not here, said Mrs. Stark.
"It was a treat to hear and see him with his men," writes Dr. Furnivall. His object in the work, as he said before the Royal Commission on National Institutions, was not to make artists, but to make the workmen better men, to develop their powers and feelings, to educate them, in short.
Before we got to the hall, the moon rose, and I think it was lighter then what with the moon, and what with the white dazzling snow than it had been when we went to church, between two and three o'clock. I have not told you that Miss Furnivall and Mrs.
Stark we could not find her anywhere, and asked for leave to look all about the furniture there, for I thought now that she might have fallen asleep in some warm, hidden corner; but no! we looked Miss Furnivall got up and looked, trembling all over and she was nowhere there; then we set off again, every one in the house, and looked in all the places we had searched before, but we could not find her.
Browning's own, if we subtract from them the exaggerations of the figurative and dramatic form. It is indeed easy to recognize in them the under currents of his whole real and imaginative life. They have also on one or two points an intrinsic value which will justify a later allusion. The Browning Society; Mr. Furnivall; Miss E. H. Hickey His Attitude towards the Society; Letter to Mrs.
She took after her mother, who was a real lady born; a Miss Furnivall, a grand-daughter of Lord Furnivall's, in Northumberland.
"Of course," Hewitt said, "we've a number of very capital men just now, but I believe a deal in the forgotten riders of five, ten, and fifteen years back. Osmond, I believe, was better than any man riding now, and I think it would puzzle some of them to beat Furnivall as he was, at his best. But poor old Cortis really, I believe he was as good as anybody.
In a minute or two the noises came, and gathered fast, and filled our ears; we, too, heard voices and screams, and no longer heard the winter's wind that raged abroad. Mrs. Stark looked at me, and I at her, but we dared not speak. Suddenly Miss Furnivall went towards the door, out into the ante-room, through the west lobby, and opened the door into the great hall.
